Mayor Adams Budget Knife and the FY-2024 NYCERS Budget Update

In a June 17, 2022 posting, I outined the history of NYCERS administrative budget.

On June 21, 2023, the NYCERS trustess adopted the FY-2024 admin budget.

It was a 13.3% increase over the FY-2023 budget. See the updated table below. The numbers speak for themselves. I wonder if the trustees are aware of this spending history.

At the same time NYC adopted a FY-2024 budget that was a reduction from $111.2B to $107.7B, a 3.5% cut. To be fair, the FY-2023 budget was originally adopted at $101.1B. What made the Mayor allow NYCERS to increase its budget by 13.3%, while the City's budget was cut by 3.5%?
